Health notes

Ground beef is a source of protein, iron, and other nutrients. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers beef to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated beef and its components. High intake of red meat, including ground beef, has been associated with certain health concerns in some studies, while other research suggests benefits from its nutrient content.
